Picking a color could take years.
Rolls-Royce, in BMW's hands nine years now, continues its glamorous and flamboyant traditions—big and bazoomy, yet somehow stately, even while knocking over a cocktail table or two during a flashy entrance. But once upon a time, getting into a $412,000 Rolls convertible was cause for grown men to begin pawing at it like beered-up college boys, but now the wow quotient is down: There seem to be fewer chromed "organ knobs," colored leather appears not so exotic in the age of bling, and the little forest of lacquered woods and the elegant emblems aren't quite so glorious anymore.
This all-new convertible is yachtlike in length—220.8 inches, a foot and change more than the limolike Mercedes S-class. Indeed, the two rear-hinged "coach doors" are so long that from inside, they're beyond reach. Push a switch, and they come barreling shut with a regal thunk.
Everyone walks around back to run fingers over 30-some pieces of teak wood. This car has its own deck! It's an extra $8500 and requires a special oil, don't you know. You can have a brushed stainless-steel hood, but—so tacky to bring this up—it's more, too: $9750. (Buy both options, and it's just $17,000.) Choose any of 4300 colors (nine are standard), with 10 shades of interior leather, 6 hood colors, 6 types of wood veneers. The radio has 15 speakers and 9 amplifiers.
